Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Rinse barley, drain and set aside.

3. Melt butter in a 1 1/2-quart flameproof casserole dish over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add barley and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the barley is coated with butter, about 1 minute. Stir in stock and scallions. Mix well.

4. Bring to a boil, cove, [transfer to oven I assume] and bake for 1 hour, or until barley is tender and liquid is absorbed.

5. Add parsley and pine nuts. Taste and adjust seasonings. Fluff with two forks and turn out into a warm serving dish.

Serves 6.
